Pyramid: d20 Weekly was an offshoot of the Pyramid RPG web magazine created by Steve Jackson Games. Before d20 Weekly shut down I wrote several articles for them, including a well received series about One On One RPG Campaigns. The One On One series was unfortunately never completed due to d20 Weekly's demise. Even still, I think these articles explain some of the elements I love about tabletop RPG games quite well. Below are pdf files for each:

One On One Gaming 1: Changing The Group Mentality
One On One Gaming 2: Campaign Brainstorming
One On One Gaming 3: The First Session
One On One Gaming 4: Combat Goes Solo
One On One Gaming 5: Story Beats and Revelations

Weaponless!
